Our Strategy

For more than 2 decades, we’ve been combatting gospel poverty through Compassion Ministries, Evangelism, Discipleship, and Church Planting.

75 Churches Planted

95,000 Evangelistic Encounters

8 Global Outreach Centers

What are we doing to change the situation?

Our ministry efforts are focused entirely in the 10/40 Window. We accomplish our vision of reaching unreached people groups by trailblazing to places where there is no presence of the Gospel. We focus on discipleship, leadership training, partnership with local believers, church planting, and releasing churches to reach their own people groups.

How you can join.

You can take part in the epic narrative of reaching unreached people groups by joining a short-term mission trip, joining as staff, or attending our internship.

Mission Trips

Our short-term mission trips consist of one-on-one evangelism on college campuses, at Buddhist temples, and in rural villages in the 10/40 Window.

However, have you ever considered coming to this exotic country to share the Gospel with unreached peoples? Have you ever wondered if maybe God is calling you to move to Thailand?

Here are 7 reasons why you should purchase a plane ticket and make the adventurous move to the amazing Southeast Asian country of Thailand.

1. THAILAND IS BEAUTIFUL

The first thing everyone notices upon arriving in Thailand is the country’s incredible beauty. Flowers pour over parks, islands, gardens, trees, and can be spotted growing and blooming year-round. Waterfalls cascade down luscious mountains, crashing over ginormous rocks in the forests and jungles, and rush along the rivers into cool ponds. Elaborate, architectural temples stand on nearly every street. Night markets are filled with lights, handicrafts, and vibrant colors. Thailand is a beautiful country! There are elephant tours to take through the jungle, mountains to hike, rivers to raft, sunsets to watch, and islands to discover. If you love exploring God’s beautiful creation, listen for Thailand calling your name!

2. THE THAI PEOPLE ARE KIND

Thai people are some of the kindest and most hospitable people in the world. Being rude, loud, and visibly angry is a no-no in this culture. They greet people with a smile and a bow with their palms pressed together called the “wai.” They open doors for people and are quick to offer a helping hand. Honor and respect are deeply rooted in their culture, and they openly give honor where it is due—sometimes even when it is not deserved. The Thai language is soft and gentle and makes anyone who learns it sound the same! If you enjoy cross-cultural interactions with people, the Thai welcome you with arms wide open and broad smiles!

3. THAI FOOD IS DELICIOUS

Whether it be a plate of mango sticky rice, spicy Thai curry, fried noodles, or fried chicken with Thai herbs, your tastebuds will rejoice when landing in Thailand! There is a perfect combination of spicy, sour, sweet, and salty in nearly every dish. The products they use are generally fresh and organic, not processed like those typically found in Western countries. Cities offer plentiful vegan and gluten-free restaurants as well as incredible international cuisine. If you love to eat pizza, you’ll find an Italian or American pizzeria just around the corner! Ocean and island resorts offer freshly cooked seafood at good prices. Fruit is literally falling off the trees everywhere in Thailand and there are some fruits only found in Thailand! The options for dining are vast and tasty in the country. There is no need to have the food phobia that some foreign countries (like China) can give to its international visitors. In fact, you may find that Thai food is better than anything you have ever eaten!

4. THAILAND IS ONLY 0.75% REACHED

According to the eSTAR Foundation, the percentage of Christians in Thailand is only 0.75%. Just check out this article from Christianity Today. 0.75%  is a tragic number, meaning most Thai people spend their entire lives and their eternities separated from God. 95% of Thailand is Buddhist and filled with an abundance of temples, idols, and spirit houses. Monks walk the streets in the mornings collecting alms from people trying to earn merit. Most Thai have never had a chance to hear the Gospel or to choose Jesus. Maybe God is calling you to Thailand for such a time is this to sow Gospel seeds into the hearts of these lovely people. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are so few. There are grandmas, orphans, students, businessmen, monks, and people from all walks of life here who are looking for a friend to show them what real Hope is. Maybe YOU are that friend.

5. THAI PEOPLE NEED RESCUE AND HOPE

Thailand is a hub for human trafficking, has an abundance of orphans, is filled with AIDS-ridden, homeless drug addicts, refugees, and a terribly high suicide rate. If you feel called to social justice causes and Christian missions, Thailand is the place to come! There are villages in need of good medical treatment, orphans needing arms and hearts to love them, women needing rescue from human trafficking, and homeless people needing someone to show them they have value and purpose. Universities are also filled with students who are under immense pressure—so much pressure, in fact, that the stress often leads to suicide. They need someone to show them hope and help them find their purpose in life. There are millions of disadvantaged people needing someone to teach them a trade and hire them for work. Refugees flood into Thailand, displaced and needing a new beginning. Maybe God is calling you to Thailand to help heal the sick, care for the dying, bind up the brokenhearted, see captives set free, bring hope to the hopeless, love the unloveable, and meet practical needs. In the midst of doing this, He will work miracles, the Gospel will be taught, and many people will enter His eternal kingdom. Are you willing to be His vessel of rescue and hope?

6. THAI CHRISTIANS NEED BIBLICAL TRAINING

Maybe you are reading this blog thinking, “I am not really an evangelist. I am more of a Bible teacher.” Well, that’s perfect! The nearly 1% of Christians in Thailand desperately need good Bible training and discipleship. They need people to come and live amongst them and train them in Biblical literacy, prayer, the work of the Holy Spirit, and methods and techniques in leadership, evangelism, and discipleship. A major dilemma in Thailand is that the Bible is translated using the Thai Royal Language, which is harder for a Thai to read than for English speakers to read the King James Version. They need trustworthy and solid Bible teachers to train them, give them resources,  and encourage them to be spiritual leaders in Thailand. It is a lot easier for a Thai to reach other Thai than for a Westerner to reach Thai. Maybe God is calling YOU here to help raise up Christian Thais to reach their own nation for Christ.

7. THAILAND IS AN EASY ACCESS POINT TO OTHER NATIONS

Thailand is strategically located right in the middle of South Asia and is within a 4-hour flight to China, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma. All of these countries are also filled with Gospel-deprived people. Thailand is a place of religious freedom offering an excellent base for many missions organizations and ministries that not only can reach out to Thailand but also the surrounding nations. Another wonderful fact about Thailand is that it is often a tourist destination for people from these nations to come, which gives the opportunity to reach them without even having to leave the country. Maybe you feel God has called you to China or to Burma, but you cannot live there right now. Come to Thailand and reach the Burmese refugees or Chinese exchange students, and then fly in and out of those countries on short but strategic mission trips. The options of reaching the 10/40 Window and unreached peoples in and around Thailand are limitless. All you have to do is obey God’s call and buy the plane ticket.

After reading these 7 reasons why you should move to Thailand for missions, you may be wondering how to get involved. Within Reach Global has many opportunities for you to get connected. You can take part in our mission trip opportunities or move here as a staff member. We pray that after reading this blog, God will speak to your heart about getting involved missionally in this amazing country!

Our outreach centers are situated amidst unreached communities. Your sponsorship opens new opportunities to be the first witness of the Gospel these precious people have ever heard!

Approximately 2 out of 5 people in our world have never heard of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Comprising nearly 2.9 billion people, they are the unreached peoples who live in the 10/40 Window.

Your sponsorship will help Bright Eyes continue to disciple hundreds of orphans and underprivileged children, raise up a generation of God-fearing young people, and shine the light of the Gospel in unreached regions.

Bright Eyes, Sponsorship ID: CH103

Orphan care & youth discipleship in China.

If ever there was a story of ashes to beauty, the life of Bright Eyes epitomizes it. Her journey can still be found etched in the scars on her wrists. As a young woman, she grew up in a fatherless home with a mother who was addicted to gambling. But God had a bigger dream for her and is penning her narrative in glorious prose.

Soon after joining our ministry activities at The Hub outreach center, Bright Eyes had a dream of divine proportions. In her dream, Jesus clasped her hand and she joined a group of poor children holding hands in a circle. “I will use you to bless these little ones,” Jesus told her. She gave her life to the Lord and returned to her hometown after it had just been rocked by a magnitude 6.1 earthquake, killing 367 people.

Her heart broke for the neglected orphans and underprivileged children in the region who were sleeping in the mud behind abandoned shacks. Something had to be done and she stepped up to the plate. She is a master of out-of-the-box thinking, giving little children an opportunity to serve and experience the Lord through homeless feeding programs and Spirit-led worship sessions.

Today, Bright Eyes oversees ministry to over 1,000 orphans and underprivileged children in 74 villages at The Cliff outreach center! Street preaching and overt outreach are highly illegal in her area. Still, she often stands in the city square, singing worship songs, and openly publicly preaching the Gospel!

She has seen her fair share of persecution and government pressure but gladly rejoices to be used by God in mighty ways.

The words of Robert Moffat aptly describe this dire reality:

“In the vast plain to the north I have sometimes seen, in the morning sun, the smoke of a thousand villages where no missionary has ever been—villages whose people are without Christ, without God, and without hope in the world.”

But God in His sovereignty ever sees the ones that He loves. And because of His ardent passion for the people He created, He beckons His sons and daughters to join Him in reaching these lost ones. We have heard His call to bring good news to the poor, to comfort the brokenhearted, to give a crown of beauty for ashes and a joyous blessing instead of mourning.

Last week, Within Reach Global missionaries drove a caravan of vehicles five hours over rugged roads and winding country trails to an unreached village. 20 orphan children from Father’s Heart children’s home joined them, giggly and excited to bestow the love of Jesus upon the kids who awaited them.

Within Reach Global and Love For The Poor have partnered together for years. Chinese college students from our English corner outreach regularly join our missionaries in teaching English to the marginalized kids of Father’s House.

These children have grown in their love for the Lord, and we thought it the perfect time for them to shine like little lights in the darkness.

We watched these #orphans shine like little lights in the darkness. #Gospel

And so Within Reach Global missionaries and Love For The Poor kids bumped over the pitted, bone-shaking roads until at long last they arrived at a sleepy unreached village.

We, of course, came bearing gifts. For what are the cultural keys to unlocking salvation among unreached people groups if not long balloons shaped into adorable animals and spectacular swords?

We also brought school supplies, backpacks, and new clothing—tokens of love for the precious children in the village.

These small gifts accompanied by a warm human touch express the love of a Heavenly Father.

And who were these that showed, through a gentle touch and a caring smile, such a glorious witness of the Gospel? They were orphans and underprivileged children, the “least of these” who have come to know the heart of their Heavenly Father.

Dressed in their traditional minority outfits, the children of Father’s House have been so transformed over the years that they have now become resplendent lights in dark parts.

Their little voices express the eternal compassion of the Divine; their eyes shine with radiant refulgence to declare the goodness of God.

The children were also joined by volunteer college students who attend our weekly English corner outreach.

Our team set up four play stations in the open courtyard of the village. Each play table filled with fun activities: bracelet making, balloon blowing, crayon coloring, and language learning.

The whole village came to witness the rare form of entertainment.

Reaching unreached people groups is not an easy task. It requires an intentional focus and strong commitment.

We desire to see every people, tongue, tribe, and language standing before the throne of God, and we know that this will not occur by happenstance.

That’s why we go. That’s why we leave our Jerusalem, depart from our Judea, and abandon our Samaria for the ends of the earth.

For “this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)

Will you take a moment to pray about how God might use you to shine the light of the Gospel to the ends of the earth? People are waiting at the other end of our obedience.

Every Christian is called to take part in the Great Commission—to go, send, or disobey. We pray that you respond to the heart of God in a worthy manner.

Every #Christian is called to take part in the #GreatCommission—to go, send, or disobey.

We have seen a number of supernatural healings take place in our outreach centers. When the residential guard outside The Hub church fell ill, our local missionaries prayed over him, and he was completely healed! He was so grateful that he immediately joined our local house church and is growing in his new Christian faith.

Another Chinese woman who recently came to know the Lord suffered from leg paralysis for 3 years. Her family abandoned her (for she brought shame to their household) and she was living alone without any family support. She came to our church complaining of extreme pain in her leg. Sleep eluded her and her misery was evident. Before the church service ended, our local missionaries prayed for her. Immediately, she felt the release of pain from her legs and walked home without discomfort! Watch the video here!

Soon after that, as one of our local missionaries was walking back home, they realized that their neighbor’s child was sick. They prayed for her, and the following week, they saw the child well and active. The parents marveled at this and gave testimony that after they prayed for the child, she was instantly healed! The family then gave their lives to the Lord and are now attending our local church!

She was instantly healed! The family gave their lives to Jesus, attending church!

One of our dear Chinese missionary wives recently feel ill. She lives and ministers with her family on the China/Vietnam border at Pilot outreach center. Her husband took her to the nearby city to see a doctor because of a large lump that formed on her throat. The doctor informed her that she required immediate surgery. But because she had just given birth to her baby 3 months earlier, she was uncomfortable taking the doctor’s advice. Our whole missionary team (both foreign and Chinese) began to pray for her. The next day, the lump on her throat shrank! She returned to the hospital and the same doctor who wanted to operate on her her now said informed her that she no longer needed a surgery! We continue to pray for her complete healing. Please join us in prayer for our dear sister.

Your prayers make a difference! E.M. Bounds said, “Give your best hours of your day to prayer.” And A.B. Simpson said “Prayer is the mighty engine that is to move the missionary work.”

Prayer works! It doesn’t mater where you are at present. There’s no need for a change of geographical coordinate or magical airplane ride to an exotic land. You don’t have to be a missionary, you just have to be linked to the heart of God! Time spent on your knees creates powerful shifts in the world of the divine. It is the linking of our hearts with the heart of God for the souls of men.

Time spent on your knees creates powerful shifts in the world of the divine.
